Rebecca

My name is Rebecca Sandelin and I have had an exuberant enthusiasm and persistent passion for all things photographic ever since I took a snapshot with my small digital pocket camera as a pre-teen. Throughout the years, I have spent my time off from school processing photos in Photoshop, countless hours in the dark comfort of the darkroom and read as much as I can on the histories and critical debates on photography. In my work I strive to put histories and theories to practical use by working across disciplinary boundaries to explore a variety of subject matters and genres, including but not limited to conceptual portraiture, fashion, still lives, land photography and landscapes. My long-term artistic research project explores the intersection between photography and emerging digital media, such as photo-realistic video games. I recently completed by postgraduate degree in the histories of photography. Combining my expertise in photographic histories and theories with my practical and technological know-how in analogue and digital photography, I aim to work as a freelance photographer and visual artist and as a freelance scholar and critic in photography and visual culture.
